6230 | And suppose people asked why he himself did not go at once to the Hospital Barracks in the town and to the Governor, and afterwards to Gorey? |
6230 | But was not he himself likewise a traitor? |
6230 | But will he stand by''s word to we? |

6230 | Gache- a- penn, you say patriote? |
6230 | Had Dormy Jamais warned the Governor? |
6230 | Had not young Philip d''Avranche; the midshipman, been in deadly action many times? |
6230 | He himself was not a governor, yet was he not always awake? |
6230 | He see a hofficier all bloodiness and he call hup:''Es- tu gentiment?'' |
6230 | He would have liked to ask for bread at the cottage- door, but he said to himself, Why should he eat, for was he not going to die? |
6230 | How many men will Rullecour bring?" |
6230 | I paid my debts yesterday, and sous are scarce, but since we are distant cousins I may claim grist at the family mill, eh?" |
6230 | Mon onc''''Lias he has de patreeteesm, and what happen? |
6230 | Ought not he to have alarmed the town first before he tried to find his father? |
6230 | Presently there came a long moaning sound from the tide, not loud but rather mysterious and distant-- a plaint, a threatening, a warning, a prelude? |
6230 | Ro, wo n''t it never come back? |
6230 | She then said gaily to Ranulph:"I shall sail her, shall I not?" |
6230 | Should he make a noise and attract the attention of the passer- by? |
6230 | The windows? |
6230 | Then-- well, then might she not perhaps leave her to the care of a husband? |
6230 | Trailing her fingers through it dreamily, the child had said to him:"Ro, wo n''t it never come back?" |
6230 | Was Ranulph to be Guida''s destiny? |
6230 | Was it the Narcissus coming-- coming to this very island? |
6230 | Well, what was the use of fretting here? |
6230 | What is your name?" |
6230 | What you t''ink coum to pass? |
6230 | Where was he now? |
6230 | Why had he not stopped the nightfarer? |
6230 | Wo n''t you call me Philip?" |
6230 | Yet why should he not eat, even if he were going to die? |
6230 | You call it hombog? |
6230 | You see dat spot where we coum to land, Ma''m''selle Landresse-- where de shingle look white, de leetle green grass above? |
6230 | es- tu gentiment?" |
6234 | But, maman, ca n''t I touch it now? |
6234 | Cowards-- cowards,he cried,"will you see him murdered?" |
6234 | For that matter, do you think that I or any good woman would have had place or power, been princess or duchess, at the price? 6234 For the love of God, have n''t you anything to say?" |
6234 | Have you nothing to say to this butchery? |
6234 | Her grandfather--he paused--"is he living?" |
6234 | I ca n''t take the sword out, can I, maman? |
6234 | I has to be growed up so the blade does n''t hurt me, has n''t I, maman? |
6234 | I have not tasted wine these five years,he said; then added,"You-- you took too much wine in Jersey, did you not, monsieur? |
6234 | Is this authentic, monseigneur? |
6234 | Maman, what am I now-- with the sword? |
6234 | May I shut the door? |
6234 | Oui- gia, what else? |
6234 | She-- she is not dead? |
6234 | Tcheche-- what''s that? |
6234 | The Lord hath triumphed gloriously,he repeated, and added irrelevantly,"I suppose you are almost a captain now?" |
6234 | To what piteous accident am I indebted? |
6234 | Were not my reasons for surrender sound? 6234 What is all those ships, maman?" |
6234 | Where does she live? |
6234 | Where is mademoiselle? |
6234 | Why then permit the murder, monsieur le general? |
6234 | Will they affend us, maman? |
6234 | You''ll swear it, Ranulph-- on the Bible? |
6234 | You-- you are a prince, monsieur? |
6234 | And I have been afraid-- of what? |
6234 | And who of chieftains and armies are left? |
6234 | And yours, monsieur?" |
6234 | But how? |
6234 | Can you not tell me what you think?" |
6234 | Does she still live in the Place du Vier Prison?" |
6234 | From this good path he had violently swerved-- and now? |
6234 | He cared to hear of no one but Guida, and who was now to mention her name to him? |
6234 | He had a boat in St. Aubin''s Bay: getting there under cover of darkness he might embark with his father and set sail-- whither? |
6234 | He was afraid-- of what? |
6234 | His trade-- a little smuggling, a little piracy? |
6234 | How many years ago was it? |
6234 | I never told you-- but you remember the day the old Duke died, the day we were married? |
6234 | Now the truth must be told-- but how? |
6234 | One day I shall be righted, but what can you say or do to right her wrongs?" |
6234 | One day, in a nervous, bitter moment, after an impatient hour with the Comtesse, he had said:"Can you-- can you not speak? |
6234 | Was not the former hallowed by distinguished patronage, and had it not existed from immemorial time? |
6234 | What does it matter now? |
6234 | What had happened to her? |
6234 | What had he got for all the wrong he had done her? |
6234 | What sort of mind have you?" |
6234 | What''s the matter?" |
6234 | When she did not answer he said pleadingly:"Guida, wo n''t you speak to me?" |
6234 | Where was Guida now? |
6234 | Where was Ranulph now? |
6234 | Will you not at least listen to me, and then judge and act? |
6234 | Will you not hear me, Guida?" |
6234 | Yet had you one spark of worthiness would you have made a mock marriage-- it is no more-- with the Comtesse Chantavoine? |
6234 | Yet how could it be otherwise? |
6234 | You love her, little son?" |
6234 | You want to know now where she is-- I ask where you have been these five years? |
6234 | and where should they go? |
6234 | he said in blank astonishment"and the woman still lives?" |
6235 | After all that has happened? |
6235 | And the child? |
6235 | Are you at the top? |
6235 | Are you hurt, Ranulph? |
6235 | But suppose the child in after years should blame you? |
6235 | Do you really mean it? |
6235 | Do you remember the day I came to return it to you, and carried it off again? |
6235 | Do you think so? |
6235 | Does n''t it ever stop? |
6235 | Is it-- is it that indeed, the watch that the dear grandpethe--? |
6235 | Man doux d''la vie, where''s the Master of Burials? |
6235 | May I not then be heard in my own defence? |
6235 | Oh ho, you know these people, my gunner? |
6235 | Oh, what can you mean-- what can you mean? |
6235 | Sebastian Alixandre-- is he there? 6235 Suppose that Guilbert should say, What right had you, my mother, to refuse what was my due?" |
6235 | What Philip d''Avranche, mademoiselle? |
6235 | What is the news, my wife? 6235 What is the trespass, and who the trespasser?" |
6235 | What proof have you that it was the Duc de Bercy? |
6235 | What, did you-- could you think that I would dispossess your child? 6235 What-- what right has he to this?" |
6235 | Where shall my seconds wait upon you? |
6235 | Wherein is the trespass? |
6235 | Who are you, monsieur? |
6235 | Who was it brought him home? |
6235 | Why did Detricand Duke go back to France? |
6235 | Why did Detricand Duke turn Philip Duke out of duchy, see him killed, then fetch him home to Jersey like a brother? 6235 Why do you call him monseigneur the heir to the duchy of Bercy?" |
6235 | Why do you call him monseigneur? |
6235 | Will you carry my profound regret to the Countess Chantavoine? |
6235 | Would you like this one? |
6235 | You like it? |
6235 | You think, then, that I''ve kept my promise? |
6235 | = are you well? |
6235 | = what''s that you say? |
6235 | CHAPTER XLIII"You understand, monsieur?" |
6235 | Coum est qu''on etes?} |
6235 | Coum est qu''ou vos portest?} |
6235 | Detricand smiled in greeting, and said to her:"Do you remember it?" |
6235 | Devoted friendship-- was it devoted friendship alone, even with herself? |
6235 | Do you hear it- tic- tic, tic- tic?"'' |
6235 | Do you not see what you ask of me-- to go from this cottage to a palace?" |
6235 | Es- tu gentiment? |
6235 | Grandjon- Larisse inclined his head, then after a moment, gravely said:"What did you think was left for a woman-- for a Chantavoine? |
6235 | IN JERSEY- A YEAR LATER CHAPTER XLVI"What is that for?" |
6235 | If this be not running the full scale of life''s enjoyment, pray you what is? |
6235 | In this new land there was work to do-- what might he not accomplish here? |
6235 | Is it for judges to assail one so? |
6235 | It''s not because you know I love you, Ranulph-- is it? |
6235 | It''s not for that alone?" |
6235 | Out of your miseries, the convict''s lagging step, you say? |
6235 | She turned pale, and, looking up into his eyes with a kind of fear, she said brokenly:"It''s not because you feel you must? |
6235 | Stooping once more, he said to the child:"Would you like the watch?" |
6235 | Tcheche? |
6235 | Tell me, my good friend, where is room for pride in me? |
6235 | They have humour, these fisher- folk, eh, gunner?" |
6235 | To what prince did she cry?--for what aid? |
6235 | To which she had replied:"It is n''t hard to forget here-- not so very hard, is it?" |
6235 | Was he then about to restore to Guida her child? |
6235 | Was it then? |
6235 | Was she thinking how he had robbed her child of the chance of heritage at Bercy? |
6235 | What credit shall I take to myself for coming to place and some little fame? |
6235 | What did she mean, this woman with the exquisite face, alive with power and feeling, indignation and appeal? |
6235 | What else have you or I to look forward to? |
6235 | What greater luxury shall man ask? |
6235 | What is the news of highnesss-- he?" |
6235 | What praise shall I take for this? |
6235 | What right had she to reject this gift of Fate to her child? |
6235 | What she thought, who could tell? |
6235 | What should one do here with rubies and diamonds? |
6235 | What was to be done? |
6235 | Why does he want to come?" |
6235 | Why does n''t mother have a watch?" |
6235 | Yet, what was that? |
6235 | You see that 12-pounder yonder to the right? |
6235 | and you will take heed? |
6235 | asked Guida, delighted;"do you really mean to give him the grandpethe''s watch one day?" |
6235 | asked Maitre Damian, cocking his head wisely;"why did he not stay for obsequies-- he?" |
6235 | said Ranulph to himself; was it indeed? |
6235 | she cried with a broken voice--"the child?" |
6235 | who trespassed upon her? |
6233 | A general-- where? |
6233 | And she scarce winking, eh? |
6233 | And what follows after? |
6233 | Ba su, you have n''t got much to take care of, have you? 6233 Coum est qu''on etes, m''sieu''?" |
6233 | Do you think your not speaking all these years was best for the child? |
6233 | Eh ben, now let''s hear the next-- who is it? |
6233 | Guess who''s wrote me a letter? |
6233 | Has Monsieur Detricand more buttons now? |
6233 | Have people played false in your life-- ever? |
6233 | Have you thought that for all these years I''ve believed one word? 6233 It-- it has nothing to do with me?" |
6233 | O Guilbert, is that what you should say? |
6233 | Of course there is no marriage-- no woman? |
6233 | Of course there is no wife? |
6233 | Please? |
6233 | The poor child of heaven-- what has come over you? 6233 Tu m''aimes, maman?" |
6233 | Watching and waiting, eh, old Biribi? |
6233 | What about those turnips from Denise Gareau, numskull? |
6233 | What have you to say, Ranulph? |
6233 | What is your name, man? |
6233 | When will you claim the child''s rights? |
6233 | Who are you? |
6233 | Whom has he wronged? 6233 You have n''t ambition any longer?" |
6233 | You-- you have n''t any ambitions now, Maitre Ranulph? |
6233 | Your father-- how is he? |
6233 | After all these years was he going to speak of Philip? |
6233 | Burying was a trade, and wherefore should not one-- discreetly-- be cheerful at one''s trade? |
6233 | But there came to me a voice in the night which said:"Is thy life thine own to give or to destroy?" |
6233 | But what proofs of it had she? |
6233 | But what''s his name? |
6233 | But who knows? |
6233 | But why should they not be? |
6233 | Coming near to her, he said in a voice husky with feeling:"Will you be my wife, Guida?" |
6233 | Could he imagine that anything might compensate for his absence in the coming months, in this year of all years in her life? |
6233 | Did he mean it to divert her from the pain of the separation, to give her something to hope for? |
6233 | Did he think-- did he think that that could ease the pain, could lighten the dark day settling down on her? |
6233 | Did you not realise it, or were you so wicked that you did not care? |
6233 | Do you not see it hurts me? |
6233 | Do you remember how I begged you not to make me marry you; but you urged me, and because I loved you and trusted you, I did? |
6233 | Do you remember that night in the garden when the wind came moaning up from the sea? |
6233 | Do you remember what you said to me on the Ecrehos? |
6233 | Do you then think so ill of my intelligence? |
6233 | Es- tu gentiment?" |
6233 | Go on, what has Josue the centenier to say for himself?" |
6233 | Had she done what was best for the child? |
6233 | His lengthened absence might be inevitable, it might be fate, but could he not see the bitter cruelty of it? |
6233 | I didn''t-- why? |
6233 | I had no husband, had I? |
6233 | Monsieur"--he bowed towards Philip politely--"monsieur is not already married? |
6233 | Or was it only the perception, sometimes given to the dullest mind, of the futility of goodness, the futility of all? |
6233 | Perhaps you''ve thought I did not know what has happened to you every week, almost every day of your life? |
6233 | Philip had felt his heart give one great thump of terror: Did the Intendant know anything? |
6233 | Sha n''t you make it one hundred and twenty- one livres?" |
6233 | The Duke looked up perturbed, and said sharply:"What is that-- what is that, monsieur?" |
6233 | The Master was sympathetic, for had he not in his fingers at that moment a bill for a hundred and twenty livres odd? |
6233 | Was life then but a series of trist condonings at the best, of humiliating compromises at the worst? |
6233 | Were you blind that you did not see the consequences? |
6233 | What right had I to sit down and brood over my miseries? |
6233 | What shall we care for the rest of the world if we know we mean to do good and no wrong? |
6233 | What was Ranulph going to say? |
6233 | Why should I live on-- why should I not die? |
6233 | Why then should she think Guida would take the officer seriously where she herself held the sailor lightly? |
6233 | Will you come, Guida?" |
6233 | Will you ever think of that, in your vain glory hereafter? |
6233 | Will you run and ask Maitresse Aimable to come here to me soon?" |
6233 | You know that Monsieur d''Avranche-- well, what do you think has come to him?" |
6233 | You would n''t have expected that, my friend with the tongue that stings, would you? |
6233 | he added to the child--"es- tu gentiment, m''sieu''?" |
6233 | how I entreated you not to make me marry you secretly, but you insisted, and loving you, I did? |
14216 | ''May I not take mine ease in mine inn?'' 14216 Am I and mine to be confounded with a crew of cuckoldy Presbyterians? |
14216 | And first tell me, how bears himself my Michael, and what greeting sends he to his home? |
14216 | And who is this youth that hath such knowledge of affairs? |
14216 | Are the gentlemen to fight now? |
14216 | Are you aware of its contents? |
14216 | Aye, do I, and what of him? |
14216 | But how fares my Rose? 14216 But in case of a French force landing--?" |
14216 | But tell me, I pray thee, wherefore they call the present master of our island by an English name? 14216 By what conveyance?" |
14216 | By what route did Le Gallais go? |
14216 | Do you take me for a spy? |
14216 | Dost thou call to mind a certain evening in London when you and Mr. Lempriere were walking home together, and a warning was uttered in your ears? |
14216 | How now? |
14216 | I''ll wager he thinks thou wert a wench, Tom,cried Charles;"but tell me, how much of the worthy parson''s discourse didst thou hear?" |
14216 | Is Marguerite gone out,he asked,"with yonder_ polisson_ of the Court?" |
14216 | It was Alain Le Gallais? 14216 Knowest thou,_ mon cher_,"said the Ex- Bailiff in the island language,"a heartier friend than one of these English that seem so cold?" |
14216 | Marguerite,she said,"do you not see Alain le Gallais?" |
14216 | Mr. Prynne, have you no compliment for us? |
14216 | Perhaps, messire, you would consult with your council? |
14216 | Speak, Benoist; who carried the letters? |
14216 | To what purpose are we here,_ mon voisin_? |
14216 | Tom,said the King, as the page entered,"what is to do here? |
14216 | Was ever honour or gratitude known among that family? 14216 Was it thou that played the raven? |
14216 | We are very much of your mind,answered Charles,"but how made you the mighty discovery?" |
14216 | What are you saying in your whoreson lingo?'' |
14216 | What comfort can I have from such as thou? 14216 What flag is that which you see flying on the Castle staff?" |
14216 | What good would the sacrifice of ourselves do the King now, when perhaps he has already undergone his father''s fate and is no longer in this world? |
14216 | What is it, neighbours? |
14216 | What mean you by your flag, Mr. Prynne? 14216 What, mean you, major?" |
14216 | When did he go last? |
14216 | Whence were you coming when you pistolled my sergeant? |
14216 | Where is James, Tom? |
14216 | Whither should I go hence? |
14216 | Who has? |
14216 | Whom mean you? |
14216 | Why so stern, fair lady? |
14216 | Why, what a plague did they want by laying hands on our anointed pate? |
14216 | Will it be a_ pas de deux_, or will we all join the dance? |
14216 | You have an interest,he presently said,"in yonder ladies, captain?" |
14216 | You heard what the States carried by acclamation, in October, 1649? 14216 Your King, urged by his necessities, would sell you to the French?" |
14216 | _ Pourquoi me boudez- vous, Monsieur_? |
14216 | _''A quoi bon?_said Carteret. |
14216 | And how does this event touch us, thinkest thou, Alain?" |
14216 | And now, as touching another of your prisoners, Major Querto?" |
14216 | And perchance your Honour may intend to glance at some more private matter?" |
14216 | Are we to do it again; it is to be France or England?" |
14216 | But is it a secret? |
14216 | But who will judge a man''s constitution by the symptoms of calenture? |
14216 | By himself he can do nothing, and who will be of his side? |
14216 | Carteret compared these replies with some that lay before him, and proceeded:--"Do you know when he will return?" |
14216 | Didst thou think that we were of your side?" |
14216 | Do you for one moment think that I acknowledge any restraining right on your part, any privilege of question even? |
14216 | Do you not know that he is our old friend?" |
14216 | Do you not know who he is, Maà ® tre Le Gros? |
14216 | Do you show me a bridge of escape?" |
14216 | Even as things were, and with no more help but what he got from you-- I say it not to offend you-- how much did not Lydcott do? |
14216 | For what saith the Wise Man? |
14216 | Hark ye, captain, are you well affected or no? |
14216 | Have I your leave, Mr. Prynne, to examine this missive?" |
14216 | Have you not read what Mr. Milton hath said here as touching this?" |
14216 | I ask you, is Michael Lempriere in correspondence with Henry Dumaresq?" |
14216 | Is it not the merest audit of a bankrupt''s books?'' |
14216 | Jersey is no Corsica; and we love not revenge, do we, Alain?" |
14216 | Lieutenant daily enriched by plunder from English vessels? |
14216 | M. Elliot, I think, the King''s page? |
14216 | May not a plain soldier choose his own company?" |
14216 | Now, see here, Captain le Gallais, mayhap you know one Pierre Benoist that was then in limbo?" |
14216 | Or do you love another perhaps? |
14216 | The Royal Ensign has been hauled down; do you not see? |
14216 | Think you that these things can be forgotten, or that my being sent here with Haine is more than a hollow compliment? |
14216 | To his challenge,"Who goes there?" |
14216 | Were you not told, Sir George, that we were giving private audience to Major Querto?" |
14216 | What hindered you then from holding fast? |
14216 | What of my Lord Jermyn? |
14216 | What shall we do with him?" |
14216 | What think ye the Parliament will deem a meet reward for the men who bring them such a prize as that?" |
14216 | What would you have done in my place?" |
14216 | Where be then your joint- organs, your paper- balance? |
14216 | Where is the place of profit that he hath not bestowed upon a kinsman or creature of his own?" |
14216 | Why did you not bring it to me at once?" |
14216 | Why, man, do you think me one to take sides? |
14216 | Will you not let me take the affirmation from the doings of Sir George, his nephew, and present successor? |
14216 | Will you see Michael Lempriere''s wife plundered?" |
14216 | You are sure of that, Benoist?" |
14216 | You may say George Cartwright drove you out; but what did he do that could justify your flight? |
14216 | Your islands are the ancient patrimony of the Crown: what hinders you from casting in your lot with Charles? |
14216 | _ Infelix, habitum temporis hujus habe?_""It is all one to me,"said Alain, lightly;"whether here or at Maufant thou art always good." |
14216 | _ malheureuse_; art thou still thinking of_ ce beau guilliard_, how did they call him? |
14216 | answered Lempriere,"have you quite forgotten what I owe to that blood and name? |
14216 | answered he,"who knows what maidens mean? |
14216 | asked the King, with some show of energy;"To what are we indebted for the honour of this sudden visit? |
14216 | at last she said;"are you perhaps permitting yourself to be offended at my seeing M. Elliot to the door? |
14216 | demanded the courtier, saluting her,"And why alone?" |
14216 | he asked, turning to Prynne,"what is your meaning? |
14216 | madame, sits the wind in that quarter? |
14216 | she cooed in her soft rich voice,"can you give me your pardon?" |
6232 | ''Ave you now, yer leddyship? |
6232 | And how does all this concern me? |
6232 | And why not, why not? |
6232 | Are you aware,he answered Detricand at last,"that I could send you straight from here to the guillotine?" |
6232 | Are you not glad to see me? |
6232 | But suppose he were English, yet French too? |
6232 | Can you guess who it is? |
6232 | Do you love Jean? |
6232 | Guida, do n''t you hear me? |
6232 | Has his Highness any visitors? |
6232 | Have you always loved him? |
6232 | How can you tell that one is in love, Maitresse Aimable? 6232 How does he occupy himself?" |
6232 | How long have you been a prisoner, monsieur? |
6232 | I have drawn the Norman- Jersey cousin, then? |
6232 | Is he a soldier? |
6232 | Is he here then? |
6232 | Monseigneur has not the kindred advantage of being English? |
6232 | Monsieur is of England, then? |
6232 | Most curious,he said after a moment, making little nods of his head towards Dalbarade;"my own name-- and an English prisoner, you say?" |
6232 | Must I come to you? |
6232 | My beloved Guida, what difference can that make? |
6232 | O Philip,she answered, her voice quivering,"how can I? |
6232 | O Philip,she said breathlessly,"why have you frightened me so?" |
6232 | Of what country are you? |
6232 | Philip d''Avranche,was the brief reply; then with droll impudence:"And monseigneur''s, by monseigneur''s leave?" |
6232 | Philip d''Avranche? 6232 Shall I bid him enter, Prince?" |
6232 | The Narcissus is not leaving to- day? |
6232 | Tut, tut, what has that to do with it? |
6232 | War? 6232 What d''Avranche? |
6232 | What has poverty to do with blood? 6232 What is it that you see, Maitre Jean?" |
6232 | What meant the fellow by his Place du Vier Prison? |
6232 | When does she leave? |
6232 | When does the Narcissus leave? |
6232 | Where were you born, monsieur? |
6232 | Whither now, your Highness? |
6232 | Who are they? |
6232 | Who is it, then? |
6232 | Who knows, monsieur le duc? |
6232 | You mean to say, monsieur, that you would let this wretched war between France and England stand before our own kinship and alliance? 6232 A Vaufontaine, friend? |
6232 | A fantastic rumour, maybe, yet who could tell? |
6232 | Ah, from whence?" |
6232 | And who shall cry out against that egotism with which all are diseased? |
6232 | And yet, could he-- could he? |
6232 | As for the captaincy of an English warship, that''s of no consequence where greater games are playing-- eh?" |
6232 | Besides--""Yes, Philip?" |
6232 | But here she stopped short suddenly; for if love might find and read love, why was it she needed speech of Philip? |
6232 | By what necromancy had this fat, silent fisher- wife learned the secret which was the heart of her life, the soul of her being-- which was Philip? |
6232 | Come, come, do n''t you know me, Pergot? |
6232 | Do-- do you think that''s a French fleet, Maitre Jean?" |
6232 | Eh, eh, I wonder-- I wonder if he has forgotten the little Guidabaldine there? |
6232 | For what can long depress the youthful and the loving when they dream that they are entirely beloved? |
6232 | Had monsieur le comte then spent all these years in the Channel Isles-- a prisoner perhaps? |
6232 | Had she not seen the light of true love in his eyes, and felt the arms of love about her? |
6232 | Had the Duke then got his release on the ground that they were of kin-- a kinship which, even to be authentic, must go back seven centuries for proof? |
6232 | Had then a new sight been given to herself? |
6232 | He adjusted his spectacles, and, pulling himself together, muttered:"Smoke of thunder, what''s all this?" |
6232 | He sent her a golden cup for the christening, but I wonder-- I wonder-- if he has forgotten her since? |
6232 | How d''ye know but I''m one of Fouche''s or Barere''s men? |
6232 | How d''ye know but there are five hundred men beyond waiting for my whistle?" |
6232 | How was it these could all exist in a woman''s heart at once? |
6232 | How would she fit with an exalted station? |
6232 | If the reigning Prince chose to establish him as heir, who had a right to complain? |
6232 | Indeed, was it not better he should go? |
6232 | Is he, perhaps, on the side of the Revolution, or does he-- keep better company?" |
6232 | Is it then distasteful?" |
6232 | Michael''s?) |
6232 | No? |
6232 | Not Prince Leopold John?" |
6232 | P''r''aps you wanted some word carried aboard, lady?" |
6232 | Presently he said:"How old is he?" |
6232 | Stooping to a stream and saying of it to a lad:"Ro, wo n''t it never come back?" |
6232 | Suddenly the prisoner, with an abrupt motion of the hand towards two chairs, said with an assumption of ordinary politeness:"Will you not be seated?" |
6232 | Suppose that Philip should rise to high places, would she be able to follow? |
6232 | The fault of him was never mine, but God''s-- does the Almighty think we can forget that? |
6232 | Then he added more kindly:"Why not-- come, tell me that, cousin? |
6232 | There was a slight pause, then came an unsophisticated question:"Has Jean always loved you?" |
6232 | Touching the angry Minister on the arm, the Duke said quietly:"Dear monsieur, will you permit me a few questions to the prisoner?" |
6232 | Was Philip right? |
6232 | Was it a dream still? |
6232 | Was it all a dream- all that had happened to her, and around her? |
6232 | Was it because Love was greater than all, deeper than all, overcame all, forgave all? |
6232 | Was she dying, was she drowning? |
6232 | Was she really, in some way, a little bit clever? |
6232 | Was she so very ignorant? |
6232 | Was that love-- was it love to break the first promise he had ever made to his wife? |
6232 | Was that their lot, their destiny? |
6232 | Were not words necessary for speech after all? |
6232 | What are you and I in this great shuffle of events? |
6232 | What had she seen-- what did she know-- what social opportunities had been hers? |
6232 | What he might yet be, who could tell? |
6232 | What was going on behind that parchment face, who might say? |
6232 | What-- how much did Maitresse Aimable know? |
6232 | Wherefore hast Thou nailed me like a malefactor to the tree? |
6232 | Who can tell now?" |
6232 | Who is the gentleman, and what is his business here? |
6232 | Who was this Philip d''Avranche? |
6232 | Who was this great man with a name the same as his own, this crabbed nobleman with skin as yellow as an orange, and body like an orange squeezed dry? |
6232 | Why had Philip failed to keep his promise not to see her again after the marriage, till he should return from Portsmouth? |
6232 | Why should the dead hand tap at her door? |
6232 | Why, even though she had been foolish in her request-- why had he not done as she wished? |
6232 | Why, why did you come?" |
6232 | Will you not stand openly for what you can not waver from in your heart? |
6232 | You have been well used, monsieur?" |
6232 | You were with me when we were married, de Mauprat,''says the Duc;''I should care to return the compliment if you will allow me to offer a name, eh?'' |
6232 | and was that what women felt and did always? |
6232 | what''s that?" |
6231 | And a friend to Jersey at the same time, eh? |
6231 | And it is right that you should love me; that we should love each other, Philip? |
6231 | And you think we have done quite right, Philip? |
6231 | Are you happy-- very, very happy, Philip? |
6231 | Because I''m going to France to join the war of the Vendee, and--"With the Comte de Tournay? |
6231 | Do n''t we just go on from one thing to another, picking our way, but never knowing quite what to do, because we do n''t know what''s ahead? 6231 Do we ever learn how to live?" |
6231 | Do you really wish that? |
6231 | Do you remember you sent me once from Malta a tiny silver cross? 6231 Do you-- ah, then, do you?" |
6231 | Evil ca n''t come out of good, can it? 6231 Excuse me, monsieur, but why do you always tell unpleasant things about yourself? |
6231 | Have you stopped? |
6231 | Have you? |
6231 | He might come back, and then if anything happened to him--"He''d try and make things happen to others, eh? 6231 Help of heaven, is that you, m''sieu''?" |
6231 | How can I be altogether gay, Philip, when we part now, and I shall not see you for two whole long months? |
6231 | How can you say such wicked things, Philip? |
6231 | I like to hear you say it,she answered simply,"and it can not be wrong, can it? |
6231 | If women had n''t memory,she answered,"they would n''t have much, would they? |
6231 | Is that love, Philip? |
6231 | May n''t I come to you for just a minute to- morrow morning, before I go? |
6231 | P''raps you do n''t trust me? |
6231 | Perhaps you forget the sword of the Turk? |
6231 | So, monsieur the traitor,said Detricand--"so you''d be a murderer too--eh?" |
6231 | That poor Maitre Ranulph,said Dormy,"once he was lively as a basket of mice; but now--""Well, now, achocre?" |
6231 | The individual grudge will not be lost sight of in the general, I hope? |
6231 | To- morrow-- to- morrow, Philip? 6231 What was that adventurer saying to you, Guida? |
6231 | What were you in prison for in Guiana, and what did they do to you there? |
6231 | What''s gone wrong, big wood- worm? |
6231 | Where are you going? |
6231 | Where will you sit? |
6231 | Why do you look at me like that? |
6231 | Why do you relate this sort of thing to me, monsieur? 6231 Why do you tell me these things?" |
6231 | Why do you want me to ask you that? |
6231 | Why should I? 6231 Why stay here? |
6231 | Will you accept something from me? |
6231 | Will you not come in, monsieur? |
6231 | Wo n''t you call me Philip? |
6231 | Wo n''t you come into the garden? |
6231 | Wo n''t you say,''Philip, my husband''? |
6231 | Would it make you so much happier, Philip? |
6231 | You are afraid that otherwise, by some chance, you might lose me? |
6231 | You hear that water running to the sea? |
6231 | You know Manon Moignard the witch? 6231 You will give me my chance-- you will listen to me, Guida, and try to understand-- and be glad?" |
6231 | You will let me tell you that I love you, Guida-- it is all I ask now: that you will listen to me? |
6231 | You''re going to stop that? 6231 You''re not going to let that Frenchman hurt me?" |
6231 | You''ve never thought that you''ve outstayed your welcome, eh? |
6231 | After a moment he said:"What I want to know is, how could a low- flying cormorant like you beget a gull of the cliffs like Maitre Ranulph?" |
6231 | Ah, ca n''t you understand?" |
6231 | And what should one think of here?" |
6231 | And who could know exactly what they felt? |
6231 | Are you ready to come into the garden?" |
6231 | But there''s the baker Carcaud--""The baker?" |
6231 | Did not the noise of the water worry poor M. Detricand then? |
6231 | Do n''t you know the moment you look on a landscape, on a splendid building, whether it is beautiful to you? |
6231 | Do you ever go into a market?" |
6231 | Do you-- tell me if you love me? |
6231 | Do-- do I remind you of the cook at home, or of an oyster- girl in Jersey?" |
6231 | Have you never thought of that?" |
6231 | He had known the house years before-- did the deep stream still run beneath it? |
6231 | He was the first man that fought the French on the day of the battle, was n''t he? |
6231 | How can one see and learn unless one sees and knows the world? |
6231 | I can tell any one at all what happened to your father?" |
6231 | I could not-- how could I marry you to- morrow?" |
6231 | I''m going to launch to- morrow the biggest ship ever sent from a Jersey building yard-- that does n''t look like trouble, does it? |
6231 | If it is all right to you, it must be all right for me, do n''t you see?" |
6231 | Is that love, Philip-- Philip, do you think that is love?" |
6231 | Is there any wrong in my listening to you? |
6231 | Looking at her he wondered what her fate would be: To marry one of these fishermen or carters? |
6231 | Now promise me that-- will you promise me?" |
6231 | Now what have you got to say?" |
6231 | Or would anything ever come back? |
6231 | Philip? |
6231 | She must have time to think, but she said tentatively:"I suppose it''s no secret? |
6231 | Suddenly Guida said to herself:"My handkerchief-- why did he take my handkerchief? |
6231 | Surely one ca n''t think wisely if one does n''t see widely?" |
6231 | The barbarians who raised these very stones she sat on, they had loved and hated, and everything they had dared or suffered was recorded-- but where? |
6231 | The old man did not answer, but sat blinking with malignant yet fearful eyes at Detricand, who continued:"What did you come back for? |
6231 | The old man had been tied to a triangle and whipped-- how horribly who might know? |
6231 | The silence, the weirdness, stopped his tongue-- besides, what was the good of crying out? |
6231 | The simple folk had forgotten their insane treatment of him then, and they saluted him now with a chirping:"Es- tu biaou, chevalier?" |
6231 | The world-- that was the thing? |
6231 | Then as Ranulph''s face seemed to darken, she added:"He''s not worse-- he''s not worse?" |
6231 | Then as the tall fellow turned to her and lifted his cap she added briskly:"Where away so fast with face hard as hatchet?" |
6231 | Then because they had n''t gobbled us up here, what did the French Gover''ment do? |
6231 | This island, what is it? |
6231 | Turning to Guida, he added:"Mademoiselle will perhaps do me the honour to notice me again one day?" |
6231 | Was murder intended? |
6231 | Was the round hole still in the floor of the back room, from which water used to be drawn in old days? |
6231 | Was there one, or more? |
6231 | What did he come here for?" |
6231 | What did it mean? |
6231 | What do you think of Caderoussel? |
6231 | What else can one do in this little island? |
6231 | What would her ship bring back again to her? |
6231 | When you see a flower in a garden, do you not know at once if you like it or no? |
6231 | Where had he been these weeks past? |
6231 | Where had he heard that voice before? |
6231 | Where is the wrong? |
6231 | Who was it? |
6231 | Why did n''t you stay dead? |
6231 | Why not leave it all behind? |
6231 | Why not let his father shift for himself, abide his own fate? |
6231 | Will you ask me to promise?" |
6231 | Will you promise me, Philip- dear? |
6231 | Wo n''t you let me show you the island?" |
6231 | You are frightened of me? |
6231 | You think I ca n''t know that it is love I feel for you? |
6231 | You''re the choice blackamoor of creation, are n''t you? |
6231 | and"Es- tu gentiment, m''sieu''?" |
26713 | ''Allo, Guernsey,he greeted,"what price my tame outangs?" |
26713 | ''Ere, mother, ca n''t you get on? |
26713 | ''Ere,he demanded,"wot are you doin''there?" |
26713 | ''Ow d''you mean? |
26713 | ,Did we wash''i m out? |
26713 | ,What agony?" |
26713 | ,Why must who? |

26713 | An''you really believes it? |
26713 | And''ave we stopped''i m? |

26713 | Any good for a bloomin''non- stop thirst? |
26713 | Anybody want, want any beans? |
26713 | Anythin''doin''? 26713 Bacon?" |
26713 | Becos they ai n''t got any guts in''em? |

26713 | But do we want them chaps out''ere? |
26713 | But wot are you aimin''at? |
26713 | Ca n''t? 26713 Course-- think you get bacon off a canary? |
26713 | Do n''t s''pose they eat each other? |
26713 | Doin'',Bunny chuckled helplessly:"wot think I''m doin... plantin''daisies or diggin''for gold?" |
26713 | Ere, you, where''d you get that bacon? |
26713 | Funny, ai n''t it, like your face? 26713 Gawd,"he said,"''ow''d you get that?" |
26713 | Got much? 26713 I feels bad,"he said,"ca n''t, ca n''t the bleedin''be stopped? |
26713 | I wonder why''e was pullin''on''is nose? |
26713 | Look''ere, wot d''you take me for? |
26713 | No, but,with a faint grin,"got any rum?" |
26713 | Oh, an''that piece yesterday was sent, too, I s''pose? |
26713 | Oh, an''wot the''ell d''you do that for? |
26713 | Oh, did''e want a drink? |
26713 | Oh,''ell,repeated Nabo;"''ere, scout, goin''back to H.Q.?" |
26713 | Oh,''ell,said Nabo,"wot for?" |
26713 | P''raps it might stop the war? |
26713 | Phew,excitedly,"what the devil is Fritz up to? |
26713 | Rum, full of rum,his little pal looked up at him with dry lip,"you-- you ai n''t got any left?" |
26713 | Scrap-- with a Fritz outpost-- got a stretcher? |
26713 | See''i m toppling our lads out at Verbequie? |
26713 | Take you for? 26713 They would disgrace the Bat.?" |
26713 | Up? 26713 Want anything-- any water?" |
26713 | Well( mollified), only fat left, I s''pose? |
26713 | What for? |
26713 | What is impossible? 26713 What,"he asked hoarsely,"what is this place?" |
26713 | Where are you hit? |
26713 | Why are they holding up their----? |
26713 | Why do n''t we?'' 26713 Why these heavies?" |
26713 | Why, wot''s up? |
26713 | Why? |
26713 | Why? |
26713 | Wonder if any of''em''s black? |
26713 | Wonder wot they''ll say at''ome about all these yere dead? |
26713 | Wot about it? |
26713 | Wot do they live in-- wigwams or caves? |
26713 | Wot do they wear-- clothes or just a belt? |

26713 | Yes, well? |
26713 | 13 Platoon, so fictitiously unlucky(? |
26713 | 1:"You see, no one knows?" |
26713 | A bit of all right, eh?" |
26713 | Any teetotalers about yere wot wants to find a''appy''ome for their rum ration? |
26713 | Anybody got a fag?" |
26713 | But why, why these big guns? |
26713 | Change, wot of?" |
26713 | Cows moaned in agony for the dire need of milking, but who was there to do it? |
26713 | Crimson glows upon which tired eyes rested unthinking, uncaring, the mind worn under the ceaseless repetition:"When will we stop? |
26713 | D''you find it cloudy?" |
26713 | Do you feel the bullet whistling through your brain... do you have one last lightning thought cut short,"This is Death!"...? |
26713 | Each felt that reliance could at any time be placed upon the other: had they not already put their mettle to the test and come through with honours? |
26713 | Exasperated chorus:"Knows what?" |
26713 | Five long minutes of intense scrutiny-- it MOVED, or was it mere fancy? |
26713 | He would counter- attack, would he? |
26713 | He would try for it... take it? |
26713 | He''s shelling along the whole line-- good God,"in a shout,"look at that chap there... it, oh, my God, it''s got him... did you, did you, see THAT?" |
26713 | Holding his nose with one hand, he spluttered:"Wa'', wi''I do?" |
26713 | I ask you, boys, are they playin''fair to us at''ome?" |
26713 | I do n''t want to go under... think they can get me away before Jerry comes? |
26713 | I, I s''pose''e could give you anything you asked''i m for?" |
26713 | If not, how do they exist?" |
26713 | In Marcoing we of Brigade established comfortable Quarters with the plentiful material Fritz had good naturedly(?) |
26713 | Is there a mirth- provoking element in the ten to one chance that YOU may not see the morrow? |
26713 | It can be further utilised as a body- shield, for paving roadways, or with the aid of a hammer and three chisels( why three? |
26713 | Le Page innocently inquired;"ai n''t it long enough?" |
26713 | No comprene? |
26713 | One of the two Guernsey scouts from Headquarters pushed open the door and in the general pause said:"Heard the latest?" |
26713 | Or is there anything refreshingly humorous in the knowledge that Death groped about in the night for his own... found them? |
26713 | Pushey alongay roadie pour tootsie-- see?" |
26713 | Scouts, does the pulse quicken even now? |
26713 | See ye Masnières canal a flood And where yon green graves lay? |
26713 | That is the crux of it: Your turn to- morrow? |
26713 | The cold, chilly feet, clinging clothes and wet skin? |
26713 | The wretched improvised shelters on and into which rain crept, lashed earthwards by a howling wind? |
26713 | Then another, and another, and still another... phew, what was he"searching"for? |
26713 | Then at the turn of the head-- WHAT is that? |
26713 | Then someone would address no one in particular:"Wonder''ow many we''ave left?" |
26713 | They seemed calm enough... wonder where they went... did they KNOW they were dead? |
26713 | WHAT of the future? |
26713 | WHICH WAY WAS WHICH? |
26713 | Want a bit?" |
26713 | Want any water?" |
26713 | Want, want, lil''drop toddy?" |
26713 | War-- it ai n''t war to smash up the bloomin''cookers...''ow the''ell does''e think we''ll do about grub now?" |
26713 | Was it only the rumble of a distant cart on hard cobbles or...? |
26713 | What had happened? |
26713 | What is it?" |
26713 | What is the thin veneer of a mere nine hundred years semi- civilisation? |
26713 | What on earth was there to laugh at? |
26713 | What was the unshakeable phenomenon? |
26713 | Where is the sun? |
26713 | Who can tell... what does it matter... what is life after all? |
26713 | Who will go under first... will it be YOU? |
26713 | Why do n''t they let us fight it out? |
26713 | Why not have fought to a standstill where they had first sighted him? |
26713 | Why were they kept up there while"nothing was doing"? |
26713 | Why were they not sent south to give a hand to the lads who were daily fighting a stubborn retreat against avalanches of German reserves? |
26713 | Why, why----? |
26713 | Wonder what it is like to die? |
26713 | Wot ARE the Tribunals doin''to give''i m so short a time before''e goes to the cruel wars?" |
26713 | Wot on earth would anyone visit these yere bloomin''trenches for unless he smelt rum?" |
26713 | Wot was I to do? |
17618 | ''How are monsieur''s pigs? 17618 And who posted them, did you do so yourself?" |
17618 | Did you ever do any smuggling? |
17618 | Did you not say that the pretty damsel of Herm had a father? |
17618 | Do you mind my leaving you a few minutes,said he,"while I fire the big gun for assistance?" |
17618 | Ellen, do you remember posting a letter to me, about a month ago, that Miss Grant gave you? |
17618 | Had we not better take up the flooring and see if we have come simply upon a grave or what else is beneath us? |
17618 | How do you feel? |
17618 | How much is a metre? |
17618 | Is that all, Harry? |
17618 | Is the case indeed so hopeless? |
17618 | Let''s see, which one shall I give you? 17618 Poor dog, are you hungry then?" |
17618 | Puit? |
17618 | Then what,I asked myself,"is the meaning of the letters at certain angles round the square both inside and out?" |
17618 | Well, Nilford, what is your decision? 17618 Well,"said he,"that''s rather personal, is it not? |
17618 | What are they? 17618 What did his cat do?" |
17618 | What do you say to a glass of ale at the tavern you put up at in Braye for those eleven days, eh, Alec? |
17618 | What is to be done? |
17618 | What is window, Alec? |
17618 | What say you to a sail this evening, Crusoe? |
17618 | What, dig down ten feet, and be buried alive in this crumbling grave? 17618 Where to, noble Crusoe?" |
17618 | Who would be stifled up in a town with wealth and its attending cares, in preference to this life of liberty I was leading? |
17618 | ''Why not give them one of those which are languishing so for want of water?'' |
17618 | ( Why do we never hear anything of the father o''pearl?) |
17618 | Are they well? |
17618 | Are they yours?" |
17618 | Are they_ really_ real? |
17618 | Are_ all_ the bags full?" |
17618 | At length he laid the paper down, and informed me that he could read it well enough, but what did it all refer to? |
17618 | Beside which, had not M. Ducas gone straight away and given notice to the proper authorities? |
17618 | But I broke in,"Where was the water?" |
17618 | But as Hugo created his hero, why should he not be allowed to destroy him as he likes? |
17618 | But how could_ she_ know of my danger? |
17618 | But tell me what has happened? |
17618 | But then I suppose when you see them by the_ ton_, day after day, you take no notice of them?" |
17618 | But what does Priscilla say to his protestations of love; surely she does not give him countenance?" |
17618 | But what of the dog''s warning? |
17618 | But where are we? |
17618 | Could I find a means of climbing up the perpendicular sides of my prison, if only a few feet? |
17618 | Could not Alec decipher that for me? |
17618 | Did I do wrong?" |
17618 | Did I ever do any smuggling? |
17618 | Do n''t you think it''s all moonshine, or rather( wiping the perspiration from his brow) sunshine and shadow?" |
17618 | Do you give them much green food?'' |
17618 | Do you want to throw your life away in such madness? |
17618 | Does darkness affect the nerves of a blind man as it does that of one with his full visual powers? |
17618 | Had we seen them or what were they? |
17618 | Have they thought of the Channel Islands? |
17618 | How should I form the bows? |
17618 | How should I get home was the next question? |
17618 | How was I going to secure my victim before giving the_ coup de grace_? |
17618 | However did you get home?" |
17618 | I believe she is as true a girl as ever lived; but why did you not answer her letters? |
17618 | I quietly took it from my trunk, and handed it to him carelessly, with the remark,"Can you read that for me, Alec?" |
17618 | I suppose we shall not know a turnip from an apple next?" |
17618 | I was fain to confess that it did seem like it, but asked,"Will you help me dig to a depth of ten feet from the surface? |
17618 | I would keep my secret; but what of the paper I had discovered in the niche in the wall? |
17618 | If cod liver oil is good for consumptives, why not porpoise cutlets? |
17618 | Is_ she_ well, and is she still_ mine_? |
17618 | Its head appears never to be still, but constantly bobbing and turning from side to side, as if saying,"Did you ever catch a cormorant asleep?" |
17618 | Might I not die any one of a hundred deaths without the fact being known for weeks, perhaps months? |
17618 | Monday looked about and quickly said,"La porte, the door, porche, the porch; how will they do?" |
17618 | My father noticed my agitation as I asked,"Father, is anything amiss with her? |
17618 | My friends would never hear of me again, and my animals on the island would starve till-- yes, why not try? |
17618 | My good old dad stood by, looking very grave, and gave a very emphatic shake of his head, so I said:"What do you think of it all?" |
17618 | My life was saved, but by what? |
17618 | Next, where was it most likely a man would hide anything of value, beneath the sea or upon dry land? |
17618 | Now do you not remember any little adventure of your own you could tell me?" |
17618 | Now what are we standing near that commences in French with the letter P?" |
17618 | Now, friend Alec, and what would you like to take away with you?" |
17618 | On this particular night my mind was filled with the question,"How can I keep my fish pond always replenished with sea water?" |
17618 | Or do the gentle tradesmen, to discourage smuggling, manufacture their own_ Havannas_? |
17618 | Oysters lie in deep waters where they are inaccessible to these birds, so whence is their name derived? |
17618 | Shall I ever forget them? |
17618 | Should I tell Alec? |
17618 | Should I tell him of that? |
17618 | Should he not be offered up on a stool? |
17618 | Suppose someone put in at night and cut my throat for the sake of plunder? |
17618 | Surely nothing was wrong with her; was she ill? |
17618 | The turning point of the case was, did we pick up separate logs of timber and construct the raft, or did we find the raft_ already made_? |
17618 | Then my dear old mother, what of her? |
17618 | Then said I,"What is the French for walnut tree?" |
17618 | Then said Monday,"What say you now of your quest, Crusoe? |
17618 | Then why does darkness bring a certain awe to ordinary mortals? |
17618 | These remarks aroused my curiosity, so I asked,"Were you ever caught at the game?" |
17618 | To which I replied by asking him a question,"Whatever is the matter, Alec, am I hurt?" |
17618 | Was it a spirit voice or some night bird that in my abstraction I fancied pronounced my name? |
17618 | Was mother ailing? |
17618 | Was my father dead? |
17618 | We now appeared to have cleared the place, but what of the"petite fà © es"? |
17618 | Well, say the skull represented the treasure spot, what did the square surrounding it mean? |
17618 | What a rumpus he would have caused? |
17618 | What did the skull portend, and what did the letters and figures refer to? |
17618 | What did this idiotic idea of mine amount to after all? |
17618 | What do you say to a drag with the trawl?" |
17618 | What do you say, would you rather go or stay?" |
17618 | What do you say?" |
17618 | What had I to turn into a plough? |
17618 | What if I met with an accident? |
17618 | What if I were taken ill? |
17618 | What is the interpretation of this? |
17618 | What more_ could_ I do? |
17618 | What of Priscilla? |
17618 | What security could I give him for further food? |
17618 | What shall we do next?" |
17618 | What was to be done? |
17618 | Whence comes the spell of dread that night brings beneath its black wing? |
17618 | Whenever I looked round his dear old brown eyes were upon me, as if he would say,"How are you getting on, master?" |
17618 | Where did you write them?" |
17618 | Where was I? |
17618 | Where was the pleasure? |
17618 | Where_ did_ you get them from? |
17618 | Who would help me? |
17618 | Who would know of my position? |
17618 | Why are we so much more in fear of unseen things at night than during the day? |
17618 | Why could I not throw my doubled silk sash over it, and haul myself up? |
17618 | Why do you look so grave? |
17618 | Why not lengthen and strengthen her at once? |
17618 | Why not make a plough? |
17618 | Why not utilize these? |
17618 | Why not? |
17618 | Why not? |
17618 | Why there are several ways that I can think of,"said Alec, after a pause;"but first and foremost, why not go home in the''Anglo- Franc?''" |
17618 | Why, Alec will bear me out that they have been indigenous to the island for scores of years, wo n''t you, Alec?" |
17618 | Will you kindly accompany us over your premises?'' |
17618 | Would it be among the rocks or where the ground was softer? |
17618 | Would it not be better to be home in dear old Barton with my skiff and pretty Priscilla? |
17618 | Would they join us at table? |
17618 | Would you like them to come over and take charge? |
17618 | Yes he was, and by the bye, why should I not try something? |
17618 | Yes? |
17618 | _ Have you a spade?_''"It was all up. |
17618 | _ What of the dead man lying on the beach?_ I shuddered at the mere idea of going near the poor fellow. |
17618 | and a dozen other questions were put to me in as many seconds, but I only laughed and said:"Now do you believe me?" |
17618 | those two days, would they never pass? |
17618 | what letters do you refer to?" |
17618 | what shall we do now?" |
17618 | what''s this, Ducas? |
17618 | where are you? |
17618 | whistled Alec;"where''s the salt box? |
